Paul's Story

Have you ever known better but not practiced that what you knew?  That was me.  I successfully completed Nutritional Education Institute training in July 2013.  I learned about the Nutritarian diet well.  I knew about various phytonutrients and micronutrients, their benefits, how they are synthesized and absorbed by the body, and what foods provided them.  I knew all of that information but I didn't put it in to practice.  Nope, not me.  

Since I was a child, I had always struggled with being overweight.  My weight would cycle up and down depending upon the diet or starvation plan that I was inflicting upon myself to at the time.  On the down side of this roller coaster I would binge eat (comfort myself with) very unhealthy food.  I was a food addict.  So, despite my training I gained a lot of weight.

It was as if for a year I could hear the sonic boom of busting through increasingly larger pairs of big pants.  Somehow I ignored it all until that day when I woke up and realized that I had truly become one with the couch.  Enough was enough.  I was done with the hypocrisy.  I then put knowledge into practice.

In June 2014, I decided to stop donating money to my gym and actually use it.  The magic started to happen in August 2014 however, when I started a Nutritarian diet. G-BOMBS (greens, beans, onions, mushrooms, berries and seeds/nuts) became the guiding principle for composing meals.  We had a large salad for dinner every night.  Luckily I know how to cook and combine flavors and spices, so I made it all yummy.  

With consistent but not excessive exercise and a strict Nutritarian diet I lost 25 pounds in one month.  In just over three months I had lost 45 pounds.   I went from being obese to being an athlete.  I now have energy to burn that I didn't have before.  I am more optimistic and confident.  I look good in my clothes and feel great in my skin.  And, at age 45, I have absolutely no need for any little blue pills.

What has been said about this diet is all true.  The food is delicious, filling and very satisfying.  I felt worlds better in a short period of time.  I don't remember ever feeling deprived or hungry.  Furthermore, I do not miss the foods that I used to eat.  Of course I have the option to indulge in the comfort food I used to love, but I don't even want to.  I actually look forward to eating my greens and beans, and the other healthful whole foods that are on this diet.  

I am very grateful for this opportunity to share my story with you.  I am so happy to have this success.  It's my sincere wish for you to have your own success story.  All the best and to your health!
